Re: xslt 2, grouping and more on indexing.

     <xsl:analyze-stringAND-RESPECT-MARKUP select="$ientry"
    regex="([0-9][.0-9\-]*)">
 
    Perhaps not.


to naturally have a regexp crossing over markup boundaries you need a
system that _sees_ the markup, that is, sees the XML document as a
stream of characters some of which represent markup and some of which
represent data, so that would be perl, sed, emacs, etc not xslt.

However it is a lot easier to do this in xslt2 than  than it could have
been, the combination of the grouping constructs and analyze string do
work rather well together in practice.
